COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Mr. Justice Shee and a Common Jury.) XEYES V. TAYLOR. The plaintiff in this action is a licensed victualler carry ing on business at the Pheasant Tavern, Stangate, and the defendant is a veterinary surgeon. Mr. Keyes, it appeared, was possessed of a very handsome and docile pony, and on the occasion of its being brought home by the defendant's son after being shod, it went down and injured its knees to such an extent, that the plaintiff said it was rendered nearly useless. The defendant, on the matter being represented to him, said the matter was a pure accident, which he regretted very much. The plaintiff alleged that the pony met with the accident in consequence of the de fendant's son violently galloping him home, and that he had no right whatever to ride the pony; had he led him home in the proper way, namely, with a halter, the acci dent would not have occurred. The case created some merriment in consequence of the following questions being put to the defendant: — Counsel—The pony was a very docile one, I believe ? Defendant—Yes. Counsel—As docile as a dog ? Defendant—Well, yes, it was a quiet thing. Counsel—You've seen it walk about the plaintiff's bar, and help itself to cakes . ? (L aught er.) Defendant—No, I never saw it do that. (Laughter.) Counsel—l do not mean that the pony went the length of drawing beer, but you've seen him come into the bar as quiet as a dog ? Defendant—l've seen the pony behind the bar—(laughter) —and it might have been eating a cake. Counsel—lt liked sweet things ? (Loud laughter.) Defendant—l don't know. (Laughter.) Counsel—Did you never see it walk upstairs? (Laughter.) Defend ant--No. Counsel—Nor stand upon a table ? (Laughter.) Defendant--No; but I've seen it get upon a butt. (Laughter.) The jury finally returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages £5. LONDON GAZETTE ---Last Evening. WAR-OFFICE, FEB. 9.

There are now but a few unimportant items wanting to complete Mr. Topham's venture, and the ac ceptances for the Grand National, which have been framed on the new principle, must be exceedingly gratifying to lessee of the course. Last year the number of subscribers was 72, out of which 21 paid forfeit, and the lowest weight was 9st, which weight was subsequently raised 111 b by means of 1 Ist 31b (Medora, who ran with 12st) being the highest imposted " content." This year the number of entries was increased to 86, and the forfeits to 25, while the lowest weight was lOst. it will be seen from this that in handicapping for the coming Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase Handicap the imposts have been raised 141 b. With the exception of Major Wombwell's Bell's Life, who carries a 61b penalty for winning the Windsor Open Steeple chase last Saturday, the weights, through Emblem accept ing, remain as originally published. Four forfeits are announced for the Spring Cup, seven for the Handicap Hurdle Race, and ten for the Sefton Handicap. THE MODERN FA/us:TER.—The farmer now acts on scientific principles and with scientific precision, instead of by blind guess-work, His operations are based on the researches of the naturalist, the geologist, the che mist, and meteorologist, and.are executed by machinery of the most ingenious and elaborate construction. Steam has been introduced to plough and to thrash. Drilling,-sowing, reaping, and stacking are .performed by machine - pow er. The amount of capital required for agricultural enterprises has, of course, risen c onsidera bly__a thrashing - ma c) ins, costing three hundred p ounds, has supplanted the old shilling flail ; a steam-plough , at ei g ht hundr ed pounds, is g radually being substituted for the two- guinea plough. The yearly bills for artificial food, for stock and artificial stimulants for the soil also run up to a high figure. The change in the system has been attended by as great a change in the men I —the old type of the British farmer, dogged in his adherence to tradition, contemptu ous of the tea chings whom Arthur Young found it idle to a rgue, an d whom he is fast longed to convince wit h his stick, of science, and ignorant of men and things beyond his own county, with going the way of the Dodo and Dinornis. In his stead, we have a well-educated, intelligent gentleman, a shrewd man of business, who has personally examined the working of the farming system both of his own and other lands, who reads Liebig in the original, who has the secrets of the laboratory at his fin g er ends, who knows how to combine the theories of books with th e unwritte n lore of practice, and who has sp irit and sense to venture h is capi tal liberally in the improvement of his acres and stock. It can scarcely be denied that the lower class of farm labourers are still in a discreditably low condition; but the increasing application of science and use of machinery cannot fail to sharpen their faculties and Improve their position ; and even as it is, enough has already been done in this way to be reckoned among the agricultural advances of the present time.—Chambers's Journal.

The question in dispute being the validity of the writ of the testator by which he left the whole of his pro perty to his wife absolutely. It was contended that the testator was not in a fit state of mind when he executed the instrument, and also that he had already made a former will which he had not revoked. The property in question amounted to about £2,000. The case will not conclude till a late hour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. SERIOUS DEPREDATIONS BY ERRAND BOYS.—Thomas Sullivan, a boy who has only been in the employ of Mr. Cooper, surgeon and chemist, of Moor-street, St. Martin's lane, for about a week, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with robbing his employer. Mr. Cooper said that in conseqUence of information he received that the prisoner, his errand boy, had been offer ing some fancy soaps for sale, he communicated with the police, and that morning Sergeant Shore, 11 F, searched the prisoner, but found nothing in his possession belonging to him (Mr. Cooper) but a pocket knife. The knife was not of much value, but, as he had missed several things while the prisoner had been in his employ, and had been robbed by his errand boys during the last four years, to the amount of nearly £3OO, he felt compelled to make an example of the prisoner. Sergeant Shore, 11 F, said in taking the prisoner into custody he first said ho had not taken anything, but after wards that he had, and then put the articles back as he could not sell them. He had seen the boy's father, who seemed to take no interest in him, and had got him into Mr. Cooper's employ by falsely representing that he had never been in employ before, whereas he had been dismissed from a previous situation for dishonesty. Mr. Cooper said his object was to get the boy corrected I as a lesson to him. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for 21 days. A GANG OF JUVENILE THIEVES.—Henry Hayes, a boy, was charged with stealing nine scarfs of the value of £2, the property of Mr. Henry Robert Wilson, draper, of 10, Cranbourn_street, Leicester-square. 11 appears that the prisoner and another boy went into Mr. Wilson's shop this morning about eight o'clock, and asked for some thread. A young female went to the back part of the shop for it, and on her return to the counter the boys left. Directly after Mr. Wilson missed the scarfs from the counter, and on going into the street saw the prisoner and the other boy with four others walking along in conversation. He followed them, and heard one of the boys say, " How much will they fetch ?" and another reply, " Is. or ls. 6d. each," He then seized the prisoner and the other boy who had been into his shop, and in the prisoner's apron found the scarfs. The other boy managed after a struggle to get away. The prisoner was then handed over to Crown, 215 C. A remand was granted, that the other might be found. Frightful Occurrence at the New Govern• ment Offices, Westminster. Great excitement was occasioned yesterday afternoon in the immediate vicinity of the Government offices at White hall, owing to the following melancholy accident, by which several persons were seriously, and it is feared, one or two fatally—injured. Large conttacts to erect new Government offices have been entered into, and a number of houses were razed to the ground on the south western side of Downing-street, and also in King-street and Charles-street, Westminster. The space thus cleared extended probably 300 feet in one direction, and 200 feet in the other. Upon this site the foundations of the new offices had been dug out, the concrete beds formed, and since then an immense forest of scaffolding had been erected, in order for the contractors to proceed with all possible despatch with the erection of the various buildings. Upon the top of this scaffolding, it is necessary to state, were immense beams of timber, supported by heavy uprights, fastened with iron dog stays; and upon the top of the last-named were what is technically called " gantries," large timbers about Oft, square, and which stretched hori zontally the whole length of the scaffolding, and having iron rails similar to those in use on a railway for the purpose of the " travellers," heavy pieces of machinery, to pass along when large pieces of stone were required to be lifted. Whilst the men were so engaged yesterday afternoon the weight of what they were lifting strained the "gantries" and the ponderous machine caused the dog stays to start, and the other portions of the woodwork got out of gear, and the consequence was that the travel ler and four men who were at work were precipitated to the ground, a distance, it is believed, of 30 feet. The poor fellows were struck by the timber as it fell and were also injured by the traveller, so that it was at first thought they had all been killed. A strong body of the A division of police immediately came from Gardner's-lane station, and assisted in getting the unfortunate men out of the ruins. They were at once removed to the Westminster Hospital, where Mr. Watts, the house-surgeon, did all that surgical aid could devise to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortu nate persons. _ _ . - One man, named William Power, aged 33, of Cheshire cheese-court, Chelsea, was found to have received serious injuries to his head, his lips were cut opm. and his fore head knocked in. Very little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Henry Pritchard, of 54, Hanover-street, Pimlico, was found to have his head, face, and ribs seriously injured, but not quite so badly as the former. Miles Hughes, of 2, Gardner's-lane, who was only mar ried on Sunday last, has also received injuries to the head, hips, and back. Joseph Lamb, of John-street, Walworth, was only in jured on the arms, and after being attended to by Mr. Watts, he expressed a wish to go home to his family, which request was complied with. There will no doubt be a rigid inquiry as to the cause of the accident. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Mallet very firm. Sales, about 7,000 bales No import. Previously, 6,488. The Dublin press of this day (9th) deplore the demise of a most charitable gentleman--J. J. Davis, Esq. who retired from New York with a large fortune.

At a Council of Ministers held the day before yesterday, under the presidency of the Emperor, highly important resolutions were adopted, the purport of which is that the London Protocol can no longer be considered by Austria as a basis of negotiations between the Great Powers. AUSTRIA. ACCEPTANCE OF THE DANISH PROPOSAL RELATIVE TO SHIPPING. VIENNA, FEB. 2. Austria has accepted the proposition of Denmark that a delay of eight weeks should be allowed to Danish e nd Austrian ships with their cargoes, ma terial of war excepted, to leave the harbours of both countries without molestation, and that during a similar period the mails should be regularly con veyed to and from either country. THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG. ESCAPE OF THE DANISH ARMY TO ALSEN ISLAND. RENDSBURG, FEB. 9. Holsteiners who have deserted from the Danish army state: — "The Dance have evacuated Flensburg. " The Prussians and Austrians are north of Flens burg. " The greater portion of the Danish troops have escaped to Alsen Island. ' " In consequence of the hasty movements of the troops yesterday many dead were left on the diffe rent battle-fields. "In the northern part of Flensburg the inhabi tants favourable to the Danes erected barricades and fired on the Austrians, who lost in and before the town 1,100 men in killed and wounded." BITCHAREST, Feb. B.—Prince Couza has not, as has been stated, demanded a delay from the Porte for giving explanations relative to the convents. The Turkish troops have not drawn towards the Danube. There is much agitation in the Mol davian and Wallachian Assembly, but the country is tranquil. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Only a moderate supply of home grown wheat was re ceived fresh up to this morning's market. The demand, however, was by no means active, nevertheless a fair clear ance was effected at Monday's currency. __ _ With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied. In most descriptions a fair average business was trans acted, and prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at late rates. There was a fair show of barley on the stands. Malting qualities sold steadily at full prices, and the value of grind ing and distilling qualities was supported. Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates. Although the supply of oats on sale was very moderate, the demand was by no means active, at previous quotations, In beans and peas a fair business was transacted, and prices ruled firm.

HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS, Lord SYDNEY brought up and read her Majesty's ans wer to the address on the occasion of the assembling of Parlia ment. Her Majesty thanked their lordships for their affectionate expressions with respect to her family, and assured them her most ardent wish was the prosperity of her people. THE DANO• GERMAN DIFFICULTY. The Earl of MALMESISURY said he had given notice to the noble earl the Secretat y for Foreign Affairs, by private note, of his intention of putting some questions relative to the state of affairs in Denmark. The noble earl hay in.- referred to the state of affairs of this nature when he wt . ; in office, went on to remark upon the arrange " Rent which had been entered into some years ago with the Duke of Augustenburg by which he received sum of money amounting to about £350,000 English on the understanding that he would never interfere with the succession in Denmark. The instalments had been regularly paid, and he had never heard the arrangement called into question. As the arrangement was entered into with the father of the present Duke of Augustenburg—when he (the son) was 24 years of age he did not see that it could be said that he was not aware of the stipulation. Had he protested or objected, the arrangement could never have been carried out, and he (the noble earl) did not see on what point of honour the present Duke of Augustenburg could. justify the present proceedings that were being carried on in his name. The questions he wished to ask was whether her Majesty's Government had obtained any material guarantee from Austria and Prussia, that as soon as the November Constitu' ion was with dra,A n they would consent to evacuate Schleswig, and whether the parties to that treaty considered their obliga tions invalidated by the outbreak of the war. Earl RUSSELL said her Majesty's Government had re ceived no such guarantee from either Austria or Prussia, and with reference to the second question he could not consider that the treaty could be in any way abrogated by the outbreak of the war, so far as regards the different Powers. It was quite impossible that the treaty made with France, Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden could be abrogated, as regards those Powers, by a state of war between Austria and Prussia on the one side and Denmark on the other. (Hear, hear.) Every ana logy and principle militated against that doctrine, and an illustration of its invalidity was supported by what took place with regard to the treaty between the Porte and the European Powers in 1841 as to the closing of the Darda nelles, That treaty was not held to be abrogated because the Porte and one of those Powers had gone to war, and the case was precisely analogous with the present. As, how ever, he underszood the answer given by Austria and Prussia to representations on the subject, that answer ad. mitted the obligations of the treaty on all the Powers. When that answer was given no act of war had occurred, but it was well known that the Danes were prepared to resist the entrance of the Austrian and Prussian troops into Schleswig, and it would be frivolous to say that a state of war, which was foreseen when the admissions was made one day, should, when it broke out the next day, invalidate and set aside that admission. (Hear, hear.) It was said that if Denmark should refuse acquiescence in the just de. mends of Austria and Prussia, those Poweis would then be released from their obligations; but he did not admit that view. Even in the contingency refe.red to, Austria and Prussia would be bound by the engagements of the Treaty of London—bound to respect and maintain the integrity of the Danish kingdom. (Hear, hear.) That he considered the real sense of the declarations of Austria and Prussia, and those were the opinions of her Majesty's Government with respect to that treaty. The Earl of DERBY considered the answer of the noble earl to be so far satisfactory. No guarantee had, it appear e d, been obtained from Austria and Prussia ; but nothing h a d been said as to oar Government having pressed for such st guarantee. _ . . LIVERPOOL-TUESDAY.

THE WONDERFUL COIFFURE of Madame Itimsky Karkowska at the great Court ball of St. Peters burg, as described by the Paris Correspondent of the Court Journal: —A drawing, which has been sent to Paris, and which we have seen, rept esents it as a huge bird, composed entirely of the masses of fair hair which adorn the head of the Russian beauty. The bows in front, puffed out and turned behind the ears, form the wings, while the thick shower of golden curls down the neck and shoulders forms the tail. The head, which descends low on the forehead, was composed of coloured jewels, the beak alone coming be tween the eyes of brilliants. The whole chevelure repre senting the body of the bird was sprinkled with precious stones, and the effect of this strange and startling invention was great enough to render the most refined company in the world totally forgetful of etiquette, for en the entrance of Madame Rimskv Karkowska the whole assembly were on the alert in order to examine more closely the complicated work of the coPur. THE ALEXANDRA. The Earl of DERBY wished to ask whether the noble earl would lay upon the table the correspondence between her Majesty's Government and the Federal Government on the subject of alleged depredations on American commerce by vessels fitted out in British ports, and also with respect to some rather strange decisions of the American prize courts. Earl RUSSELL said that in the present stage of law proceedings connected with this subject he deemed it ex. pedient to withhold the correspondence referred to. On thn first night of the session the noble earl had spoken of a de spatch of Mr. Seward making claims on account of the de predations of the Alabama, rnd expressed a hope that he (Lord Russell) had answered that despatch in a fitting manner. He could not at the time call to mind any such despatch, and therefore he had omitted allusion to it in his reply. He now found, however, that the despatch in qaes tion was addressed by Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams, but in the discretion of that gentleman it was not communicated to him (Earl Russell)—(a laugh)—and that accounted for his inability to give to the noble earl an answer on Thurs, day night. (Hear, hear.) NAVAL ARTILLERY. The Earl of HARD WICKE asked the Secretary of State for War whether her Majesty's ships were sup. plied with guns and projectiles which could penetrate tho side of a ship covered with iron plates 4± inches thick. The subject was a most important one. When the improvement in small arms rendered an improve. went in artillery necessary, and Sir William Armstrong's invention was brought before the notice of Government, the Administration of which he was a member treated the subject with great care; and he (Lord Hardwicke) believed that Sir W. Armstrong had given to the artillery a new, powerful, and beautiful weapon. Immediately, however, a plan of plating ships with iron sprang up, which defied the then power of guns. Sir W. Armsttong had produced guns to pierce in some degree such plates, but no less a sum than upwards of two millions was expended on these guns. Another inventor, however, Mr. Whitworth, had produced guns which never failed in penetrating iron plates, but Mr. Whitworth's experiments had not received that attention which they deserved. He (Lord Hardwicke) did not think the Government had acted quite fairly in the matter. The experiments at Shoeburyness showed that in almost every instance iron plates were pierced and destroyed, and under these circumstances he thought he was entitled to ask how it was that there was not on board any of her Majesty's ships a gun capable of penetrating a plated ship's side. Ths Armstrong gun on board ship was, to a great extent, un workable and inefficient. He thought it therefore time that the invention of Mr. Whitworth should be seriously taken into consideration. The Duke of SOMERSET said it would perhaps be better for him to answer the question. In 1859, they had received an Armstrong gun—a 100• pounder—which was sent to sea. It was found excellent. In consequence a num ber were ordered. But then came armour-plates, and this gun failed as against them. The old 68-pounder was at that time preferred. Then Mr. Whitworth was seen ;he pro.. duced a gun which sent a bolt through the plated sides of the Trusty. He (the Duke of Somerset) bought the gun, but some defections were found in it, and on subsequent trials it burst. He could say that his only object was to get the best gun, and not to favour any particular inventor. He saw Mr. Whitworth again, who told him that the real difficulty was 0 find a suitable metal for guns. A year ago he was still anxious to get a really useful gun but from that day to this they had not got any gun, although invited and asked for, from Mr. Whitworth, in order to try it against Sir W. Armstrong's. Mr. Whitworth' 8 in, vention was undoubtedly a valuable one, and, as he him self had said, it lay chiefly in the nature of the projectile. Sir W. Armstrong's guns sent shell as well as shot thorough, plates; still they had not a good broadside gun for the navy. He sent a year since for Sir W. Armstrong and asked him for such a gun , smooth bore. It was sent— about six tons weight. In September and October last it was tried, and the practice was satisfactory, and tho diffi culty of firing, as compared with the 68 -pounder., was trifling, and it was reported to be the best gun in the navy against iron plates, with solid shot going right thi ough them. This was therefore a good broadside gun, /aid a number of them were at present in course of construction and delivery, But they wanted also a rifle gun, in order to a comparison and final decision. They had now in fact a rifle gun of this wei g ht , and were only wa iti ng far the projectiles. At present, although they had only it: the navy the 68-pound er and the 6 - ton smoo th bore he had described, they were on the way o f obtaining a supply of the best guns yet in ven t e d ; an d as they were thus increas ing the for ce o f t h e i r guns, t h e y were also making pro , gress in increasing the strength of their ships' armour, the latest plan of this kind adopted being considerably stronger than any that had gone before. The Earl of HARDWICKE said that the noble duko had said nothing to show that Mr. Whitworth could not have furnished our ships with sufficiently powerful guns to penetrate any armour plated ship's side. The noble duke seemed had himself turned. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said the inquiry had been stopped because Mr. Whitworth had not yet delivered the guns which the committee desired him to submit for the purpose of being tested with those of Sir W. Armstrong. The excuse for the delay on Mr. Whitworth's part was that he had a difficulty in obtaining materials for the guns i Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--Last Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock. PETITIONS. Some petitions were presented praying for a reduction in the duty on fire insurances, and deprecating the destruction of Kagositua as a blot on the civ ilisation of the cluntry. HER MAJESTY'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS. Lord PROBY, Comptroller of the Household, presented her Majesty's most gracious reply to the Address of the H ouse o f Commons, expre ssive of her Majesty's gratitude for th, expression of loyalty to herself and the members of the royal family.
